ISCF HDRUK DIH Sprint Exemplar: Using a digital transformation approach to drive improved clinical outcomes for patient with heart failure

Devolution allows us to use the delegated control of our health and social care budget to improve outcomes for our 2.8 million citizens. This, combined with a large cluster of life sciences and digital organisations, strong universities, increasing digital maturity and established city-region leadership makes GM an important place to collaborate with industry to develop and evaluate new products and services.Cardiovascular disease is a major health priority in GM, with higher mortality and morbidity rates than the UK average. 25,000 people have diagnosed heart failure - just under 1% of our population. During 2015/16 there were 4330 admissions in GM with a primary diagnosis of heart failure, costing over £17,000,000. There is emerging evidence that many of these admissions may be avoided or modified to deliver benefits to patients and to the economy.Our exemplar sprint will generate better insights about patients’ health by using data from implantable devices already used to treat patients, to feed a new digitally-enabled platform which will detect earlier signs of deterioration. We will use these insights through a new service to prevent hospital admissions, and conduct analyses to detect other patients who are at risk and will potentially benefit from this approach.
